- What are its products and processes?
- How big is it?
- What is happening at present?
- Is it growing or contracting?
- Is it developing new products?

- Are social objectives important?
- Are people with disabilities currently employed in the enterprise? - How many?
- In what jobs?
- Have people with disabilities been employed there before?
- In what jobs?
- Why did they leave?
